Well the weather has been a little better last few days, warmer and no rain . cant make it to St Louis
so i figured, good time to officially start the rebuild of Susans rig. There is still enough decent weather to do all the metalwork ( cut and strech rails, install 5th wheel servo, fab up deck plate )
then i can do the wiring and detailing in the comfort of the house in the dead of winter.
So the truck is all apart. First time tear down on this truck but my 4th time doing this to a truck....almost like reverse engineering...lol.
heres a few pics of the work so far. Step one, upgrade powertrain with new motor, clean inspect and upgrade to bearings in transmission, and finish with a 4:1 GRU from PMD
.
Next is cut rails, add extensions and paint.
Enjoy
and yes, as per Steve's suggestion you will notice a space heater on the floor by the table
thats it for now.... thanks for looking
